WE DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT GOES ON DURING THE SCRUM

Vaguely Related Item: Police in Dunedin have confiscated a French rugby fan's rooster. The story does not say whether it is a naked rooster. But we are confident that there will be jokes in the comments involving another term for rooster.

For the record, a rooster, or more correctly, a cockerel, is the emblem of the French national rugby team.

Naked rugby is a lot more difficult to play than the clothed version. In naked rugby there's really only one place where one can get a good grip in a tackle, and any manly man wouldn't be seen dead gripping another man in that place.

Watch out for the All-Blacks. They have a team chant that roughly translates as: Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Ruby is tough enough to play with a uniform. I refuse to try without clothing. Mostly, as Mot pointed out, tackling by runts like me is impossible without the ball carrier wearing a rugged jersey to desperately grasp.

wingpup, I found image # 8 a little strange myself. I don't know much about rugby but I know you wouldn't see that in American football. I was partial to image # 6. Mitch, wouldn't the ball carrier still have something to grasp onto even without the jersey? Or would that be a personal foul?

Wing and Cindy, rugby CAN put people in some strange positions awkward situations, even if wearing a uniform. As Mitch points out, I'm sure it creates even more of these if the people are naked. Mitch, being a runt sane like you, this would never have entered my mind when I played, either.
